Glad she's running again, it's times like these that keep you going when 'Karmann's law' drops by and leaves you completely stumped about what's wrong with the bloody car.

Those feelings are exactly why we all spend time, money, blood, sweat and tears on metal -Nice one mate, make the most of that high. :thumb right:

 

 

Hopefully i'll be just as excited with my new brakes and wheels next week. :)

Don't worry.. it'll find a way to crush you again soon. Such is the nature of the Corrado ;)

 

 

PMSL :lol: (but very true!!)

touch wood before i put all my polished engine parts on she'd never gone wrong once since then the ignition switch went didnt have a clue what it was then the leads now all sorted she is purring again and i love it just had a customary drive round the town so ppl could admire how sexy the C is someone even said today thats a good number plate. so that made me smile too!

 

marcus im sure you will im giving it a very very good clean tomorrow then take some pics

 

one good point is i had literally no experience with mechanics before i brought the C now i at least know were everything is and could probably take it off and put back again except things like the clutch and hard things like that!

Well done, I know the feeling as about 2 years ago, it took me some time to get a funny judder problem on my G60 sorted (always juddered at 2500 and 3000 revs); turned out the previous owner had had the timing set to 6° after TDC !!!
